About Classic Sonic in RiM · 6:59pm Dec 11th, 2017
Hey, guys. I'm still working on the next chapter of Resistance is Magic. With him being the focus, I think now's a good time to bring up Classic Sonic.
The reason he's still in this story is because my previous story, The Blue Blur, involved the cliffhanger from Mania and I didn't realize he would be that irrelevant to Forces. Yet I couldn't just not resolve that in someway so I'm trying to make him feel important to the story somehow.
While I continue writing here's a bit from the next chapter, going a bit into the whole "Classic is from another dimension despite Generations" thing.
Tails decided to explain, "Eggman and his other self teamed up to control an entity called the Time Eater. They destroyed time and space, and Sonic and I met him and his version of Tails. We went through old locations from our past to save our friends, find the Chaos Emeralds, and save all of time itself. Luckily you and the girls weren't there. If Eggman knew about your world back then, no doubt he would've hatched his scheme there too to get the Elements."
With a firm nod, Sonic too remembered that. A simple stroll through Green Hill led to him getting attacked by the monster, then he fought his Eggman. The day the two Sonics met wasn't a day to forgot, that much was certain for him. He remembered what his alternate counterpart said to him before he left.
"Hey, Sonic! Enjoy your future! It's gonna be great!"
The very last words he ever heard from his experienced counterpart. To think that something on this scale could happen in his future made Sonic's heart sink. But then he remembered that Tails mentioned having never gone on the adventure he just had. Now that he and Eggman were aware of the future already, maybe his Eggman already changed the course of his plans and therefore never go down the path that led to this very takeover. It brought some peace to his mind, but now wasn't the time to let his guard down.
Sonic clenched his fist. If his other self isn't around to stop Eggman anymore, he'll have to handle things so long as he's here. He will win. No matter the world, scrambling Eggman's schemes is what he did best after all.
Pretty much what I think. Time Eater pretty much created an alternate timeline where Classic Sonic has more adventures like Mania after S3&K where the Modern timeline happens normally.
